IMO a rebuilt German Bosch unit is far superior to the Chinese alts.
Pros: far superior
Share:
supplier willing to give me a Bosch remanufactured alternator (as good faith) to compare. after installation on Bosch, the result is worse than the Denso (output at alternator at 12.5V)
Cons: worse than Denso
Vehicle:
Acura MDX
Mileage: 220000 km
Don\u2019t get a Bosch
Cons: Do not buy
I’m running my a 120amp Bosch but my car is m42 it’s honestly overkill for my setup with aftermarket speakers, amp, and sub.
Pros: overkill for setup
Vehicle:
BMW
bosch alternator is better. get a bosch alternator.

Rockauto.com shows reman units, both Bosch and Valeo. As far as interchange with Bosch, I dont know, but worked at the dealer and they always asked if it was Bosch or Veleo because it could not be determined by Vin.
I replaced the Alternator on my 2016 Mini Cooper Paceman with a brand new Bosch Alternator. For whatever reason the Alternator is only putting out 11-11.6 volts.
Cons: low voltage output
Vehicle:
MINI
I managed to get a reman Bosch 150a/140a last year from Advance Auto for around $190.
Pros: cheap Bosch reman

I just replaced the one in my daughter's Mk 4 with a rebuilt 120A Bosch one from Rock Auto last week.
Pros: rebuilt, bench tested

I would go Bosch if I had the option. Mine went out on a road trip. I had to go with what option was available at the auto store I was able to limp to. Lucky there was one close by but it was who knows what brand. It was my only option so I bought it. Probably duralast or something but it’s working 2 years later.
Pros: working 2 years later
